[libvirt-users] Hypervisor load much greater than that of the guest
by Damion Parry 25 Nov '13

25 Nov '13

Hello, I've got a situation where I have a couple of vm's running at 300+% cpu on the hypervisor: 9893 qemu 20 0 13.0g 8.2g 4256 S 328.0 4.3 59793:17 qemu-kvm Yet the load within the vm is in the regions of: 1.00, 1.02, 0.98 Everything is reporting OK on both the hypervisor & guest, guest is a qcow2 image on local storage. If anyone could point me in the right direction to start debugging this I'd be grateful. Hypervisor: CentOS release 6.4 (Final) 2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.355.0.1.el6_4.9.x86_64 libvirt-0.10.2-18.el6_4.14.x86_64 Guest: CentOS release 6.4 (Final) 2.6.32-358.14.1.el6.x86_64 Thanks in advance, Damion.

(ii) Can two different active networks share the same bridge? Example, can the xml of two active networks have the same line <bridge name='virbr0' stp='on' delay='0'/> ? (iii) If the answer for (ii) is false, how can I obtain the interface name for a given bridge name in libvirt? -- Nehal J Wani

Hi, I learned that there is a new technology - virtio-blk-data-plane introduced in qemu to bring a leap in IO performance to KVM. Has this feature been supported in libvirt? if it's, how to configure xml to support this feature? thanks.

[libvirt-users] libvirt-sandbox on Ubuntu with SELinux
by boden 21 Nov '13

21 Nov '13

I'm attempting to build/use libvirt-sandbox on Ubuntu 12.xx. Although I'm still working through dependency issues (including the need for libvirt >= 1.0.2 which is not packaged for ubuntu 12.xx) to build the sandbox code, I have a forward looking question. It appears libvirt-bin for Ubuntu likes apparmor as does most Ubuntu based packages using a LSM impl. However, as I understand libvirt-sandbox is integrated with SELinux to provide security isolation of containers... My question becomes -- *should* libvirt-sandbox work on Ubuntu assuming I use the ubuntu libvirt-bin package and replace apparmor with selinux? Or am I flat out walking into quicksand on Ubuntu here? Without the security aspect of libvirt-sandbox, I wonder if its viable on ubuntu for those looking to mitigate container security? Thanks
